When reading about a fictional character, have you ever felt as though you could really hear their pulse? That is how you will feel about Daniel Chesterton in Moonlight Lonesome, Sharon Louise’s gripping story. The transformation of Daniel from an idealistic cadet into an experienced soldier is an inspiring and emotionally wrenching story.
The Hero We Didn’t Know We Needed
Daniel Chesterton begins his story as an ambitious and idealistic young cadet at West Point. Because of his charming innocence and purity, he is easy to relate to. When conflicts break out in the American Civil War, Daniel is immediately faced with the horrors of battle. He shows his dedication and will during the sudden shift he goes through.
Bringing to life Daniel’s emotional state is a strength of Sharon Louise’s. He puts his morals and bravery to the test on the battlefield, where he experiences shocking realities. Especially the horrific events at Gettysburg are described in such detail that you feel as though you are a part of Daniel’s existence. Imagine all the destruction surrounding him, hear the clang of cannons, and practically feel the heaviness of his musket.
Ignoring destruction, Daniel’s mind frequently goes to Alexandria, his cherished hometown. He finds inspiration and courage in his love for her. The letters and recollections that Daniel has left behind will show you a different, more human side of him. His connection with Alexandria improves his character emotionally, contrasting the cruelty of battle with the gentleness of love.
His development as the story progresses is what makes Daniel so interesting. Though he begins as an innocent and idealistic young man, the harsh realities of war quickly deprive him of his innocence. Daniel maintains his humanity and feeling of responsibility through all the tragedies he sees. The bravery he showed in the impossible challenges is extremely motivational.
A leader with a strong feeling of camaraderie, Daniel shows these traits in his dealings with his fellow soldiers. His teammates look up to him as a rock of strength, and he becomes famous for it. As Sharon Louise writes, she describes a young man who is surrounded by death and damage but stays strong and kind.
